In The Time Of Ymir

lyrics

Ór Ymis holdi var jörð of sköpuð,
en ór sveiti sær, björg ór beinum,
baðmr ór hári, en ór hausi himinn.

En ór hans brám gerðu blíð regin
Miðgarð manna sonum,
en ór hans heila
váru þau in harðmóðgu
ský öll of sköpuð.

Of Ymir’s flesh
was earth created,
of his blood the sea,
of his bones the hills,
of his hair trees and plants,
of his skull the heaven;
and of his brows
the gentle powers
formed Midgard for the sons of men;
but of his brain
the heavy clouds are
all created.


Ár var alda þar er Ýmir bygði,
vara sandr né sær né svalar unnir,
jörð fannsk æva né upphiminn,
gap var ginnunga, en gras hvergi.

English:

Of old was the age when Ymir lived;
Sea nor cool waves nor sand there were;
Earth had not been, nor heaven above,
But a yawning gap, and grass nowhere.

We're seed and tree with roots deep into earth and branches stretching to the heavens. We are the voice of creation…from the smallest of creatures to the mightiest of beasts. We are songs of dancing fire, whirling wind, flowing water and the standing stone. We are pain and sorrow woven into hope and beauty. We are forest and meadow… the mountain and river. We are what was and what is becoming. ... more
